June 1953 - Coronation Number
UK Edition
220 pages - illustrated in black and white/colour

Special edition to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey.
Includes article by Cecil Beaton on photographing the Royal Family - a feature on 'Fashion Between the Coronations' 1937-1952 - an article on former Queens - photos of various notable figures who were involved in the Coronation including the Maids of Honour and Ladies of the Bedchamber - an animated Coronation street scene/party by the artist Edward Ardizzone - as well as a photo shoot with eminent and glamorous young English women, primarily young aristocrats and actresses. Also includes the usual fabulous selection of advertisements - many of them with a Coronation theme - and fashion garments (e.g. ball gowns). Includes photos by Norman Parkinson

In good condition overall. Some light scuffing and creasing to cover and spine. Small corner crease to bottom outer corner of front cover and small split to base of spine (and to first couple of pages) - measuring shops approx. 1/2" or 1.5 cm. Three small edge tears to back cover, plus a few small indentations, slight grubbiness and some creasing. Small stamp to top outer corner of back cover. Slight bumping/creasing to corners. General age discolouration/tanning. But otherwise good. Binding is tight. Internal pages are clean with no major flaws - no stains, tears or annotations. Please see photos for more information. Please note that it has proved difficult to reproduce the colours totally accurately in the photos.

I am usually able to provide a combined shipping discount for multiple purchases (subject to international weight restrictions etc) - please refer to 'Shop Policies' for details. Shipping charges are usually estimated (particularly for combined shipping). If I find that I have grossly overestimated the shipping costs (after allowing a small amount for packaging) I will, of course, refund the difference
